One Step at a Time by E.C.

By Eugene St. Martin JR.

This book is a continuation of E.C.s journey in life. It is about the observations and reflections made as E.C. goes about his life, to church, to work, to teach, to play, and to visit friends. It includes ideas he has learned from others as he goes about his journey. E.C. keeps exploring the question of how to play the game of tennis. In his life, E.C. has found it is better for him to travel one step at a time . . . one step at a time . . . one breath at a time . . . one shot at a time . . . as he makes his rounds in his life.
